The Interweave Knits preview is up!
This cardigan is knit in Berroco Linsey, which is a brand new 64% cotton/
36% linen, summer yarn which was surprisingly gentle on the hands for a cotton blend, I would love to use it again. Full project details are here, and will be on Ravelry, the magazine will be available on newsstands May 17, 2011.
love this! especially the way the lace is worked for the sleeves. (Just started an Acer in Berroco Remix the other day… how will I keep up with you! also love the sweaters for O-Wool)
I love this sweater and would like to knit it soon. I am intimitdated by the kitchener stitch all the way up the back. How tedious is this going to be? Do you have any special tips about getting thru the lace stitches?
The kitchener on lace is a little bit tedious, but it does work really well. My only advice is to practice a little on a swatch (at least 3-4 inches wide, but they don’t need to be more then an inch long) to get a feel for the tension.
Oh this is so beautiful! One of my favorite patterns from the magazine!
